In the case of patients having lower back pain, it is known that by using shoe insole therapy, stability of walking is increased and lower back pain is lessened. In this study, Synchronized System of Accelerometers was used. The time series data of accelerator in the two directions (X, Y) on each pelvis and knees were measured while the subjects were walking. Analyses on the response of step si...

in this study, a cylindrical bolling probe was developed and evaluated for measuring stress in soil under tire traffic. the probe consists of a silicon rubber head for sensing the soil stress, a pvc tube for transferring the liquid pressure, a digital pressure sensor and a syringe for filling the probe with water and adjusting the initial inclusion pressure. a tank with pressurized air was used...

We compared the short-term efficacy of rigid versus soft lateral wedge arch support (LWAS) insoles for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), as assessed using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) system, through a prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial.Participants who fulfilled the combined radiographic and clinical criteria for knee OA...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine if estimated center pressure (COP) from plantar force data collected using three-sensor loadsol insoles comparable the COP pedar during walking and running. Ten healthy adults walked ran at self-selected speeds on a treadmill while wearing both insole in their right shoe. Plantar recorded used estimate along mediolateral (COPx) anteroposterior...

Knowledge of ergonomics/human factors plays an important role in the creation and design safety shoes insoles, contributing to worker protection, comfort, stability. The purpose this study is compare previous insole designs analyze plantar pressure gait pattern kinematics using Oxford foot model protocol. tests were performed comparing environments on three rockers gait, represented by heel, mi...

Use of modified shoes and insole materials has been widely advocated to treat low back symptoms from running impacts, although considerable uncertainty remains regarding the effects of these devices on the rate of shock transmission to the spine. This study investigated the effects of shoes and insole materials on a) the rate of shock transmission to the spine, b) the temporal response of spina...

The use of signals resulting from tapping a rhythm on a pressure sensor is explored for authentication. The features used for authentication can be divided into rhythm and waveform features. This paper studies the use of waveform features. A verification scheme based on prototype waveforms is presented. The scheme is tested on experimental data. Based on waveform-only information, an Equal Erro...
